BOLD BEAUTY IN A CLASSIC WRITING INSTRUMENT:
THE CROSS TOWNSEND® PEN SPARKLES LIKE A JEWEL IN RUBY AND EMERALD HUES

Vivid yellow, green and red hues rocketed the runways featuring the spring fashion collections. The new shades of the CROSS Townsend pen also bring the beauty of bold color to accessory wardrobes. This season Townsend emerges in ruby and emerald hues, with a translucent, hand-polished lacquer finish. The intricately engraved diamond pattern enhances the jewel-like tones of these new Townsend additions.

The Townsend pen remains one of the most beloved CROSS® writing instruments with a luxurious silhouette that takes its design cue from a 1938 Art Deco fountain pen. Substantial and stylish, Townsend represents utter elegance, a pen that’s perfectly balanced in the hand. The new ruby and emerald-colored finishes refresh this cherished classic with standout shades, joining Townsend’s quartz blue-hued pen with its glistening gem-like lacquer, to form a sophisticated triad of jewel-toned writing instruments.

The new Townsend pens debut in March at CROSS locations, at www.cross.com, and at selected retailers. Suggested retail prices are: $110 for the ballpoint pen, $135 for the rolling ball, and $250 for the fountain pen.
